Directions

To prep for making these bars, it's best to soak your nuts and seeds in a bowl of water for a few hours before making them. This will make more digestible by breaking down the enzyme inhibitors. Be sure to rinse them well after soaking and press dry.

First, grease bottom and sides of a med/lrg glass dish with coconut oil and set aside.

On a parchment-lined cookie sheet, spread out your seeds (except for chia), almonds, coconut and oats. Toast them in an oven preheated to 325°F for about 5-7 minutes.

Remove and transfer to your food processor. Add salt and pulse until just broken up. Transfer to a large glass bowl and add in chia seeds.

In a medium saucepan, pour in your brown rice syrup, vanilla extract and Sunflower Seed Butter and stir over high heat until mixture starts to boil. Once it has reached a boil, remove from heat and immediately pour into your bowl of dry goods and mix well.

Transfer mixture to your large dish and press down firmly with spatula to make it compact & even.

Now it's time to make your chocolate covering! Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of almond or coconut milk on the stove and stir constantly until it all melts together. Pour over your bar mixture and pop in the fridge for at least 10 min before cutting up & serving

*Substitutions: you can swap raw honey for the brown rice syrup. Maple or agave will not provide enough stick factor.
you can swap natural peanut butter or almond butter for the sunflower seed butter. (be mindful of peanut allergies if making for school snacks)
you can swap out the type of seeds/nuts you use but keep the proportions the same.

You are invited to a free, 30 day, full-service, no strings attached trial.

No payment information is required and your feedback is welcome.

At the end of the trial you can subscribe for $4.95/month or $39/year.

I LOVE Plan to Eat. It has helped my family financially (I'm shopping with a purpose & plan) as well as nutritionally (planning to bake treats as opposed to buy). Thank you so much for providing this service.

I just used the Save Recipe (PTE) pinmarklet tool thingie on a blog recipe and I am blown away!!! I've never really used it before because I always just search for recipes in the P2E site because it was 'easier'. Thank you, thank you for such a neat tool! It slurped up the ingredients, the directions and even made it easy for me to add the picture! You guys have a fabulous service and it makes my life so much easier!

It took some work getting started it was well worth the effort. I'm saving time, money, and realized now I'm saving food. Every week there is less and less waste as I use everything I'm buying and nothing is going bad before it gets used! I'm on a small budget so this is important to me. Now, instead of shopping week to week, I'm starting to be able to stock up as well as plan & purchase past the week I'm buying for!!! This is by far the best thing I've ever done for my family.

I recently started eating a more plant-based diet, and so I'm accumulating lots of new recipes. I love that I have access to my recipes when I visit my family members in other states and I want to make dinner there or give them some good recipes. I also often plan some meals while I'm at work and then I have my shopping list ready when I leave. I love having my shopping list on my phone. I'm just having a great time with it. So thank you very much for starting this!
